Question
Recently, my child has been crying and restless, with symptoms such as coughing, fever, and loss of appetite. Could you please advise on how to handle pediatric tracheitis?
Answer
Children with frequent coughing due to tracheitis may also exhibit symptoms such as sputum, fever, and decreased appetite, which could suggest bronchopneumonia. It is recommended to use medications such as erythromycin, compound licorice oral liquid, and stomachic and appetizer tablets, and to avoid eating spicy foods. Additionally, based on the description provided, the cough may be caused by a cold with wind and coldness. It is suggested to use Sanao Decoction along with herbs for reducing Qi and resolving phlegm for treatment.
